Honestly, I don't disagree that much out of Star Wars has been disappointing in the last 15 years. I won't argue with that at all. It's just that there is so much pessimism and negativity, when I'm seeing several trends in the right direction. I think things will get better. It makes me sad that so many people dislike so much about its potential future. It's like they think nothing redeeming could ever come from the franchise again.

Take a look at my little signature. That was Lucasfilm speaking with us fans seven years ago, and since then there's been no indication whatsoever that their stance on this matter has miraculously changed.

That's the whole foundation of the Star Wars franchise, to me and many others it is the only Star Wars, so I am afraid you'll have to live with the negativity and pessimism surrounding the Star Wars brand until the day they bring that back again, there simply was too many who fell in love with that "original toy", you just cannot buy a new one that looks and behaves differently and believe that the child will forget his favorite one and accept its replacement.

You could of course start censoring different opinions but that would be stupid. And about every third post being negative in spirit still makes the majority around here surprisingly optimistic I think. I think the Star Wars fans are some of the most loyal ones out there, I actually have a hard time believing other fanbases would be so accepting as the Star Wars one after such lack of respect for its fans.
